New features
Professional adjustments and controls
• Lab colour mode for professional edits made easy (see p. 105)
Lab colour mode is a major advance that processes images in a
high-quality, natural colour space. Lightness and contrast
adjustments can be made without dramatically changing
colours, and hues can be adjusted and accentuated without
affecting contrast, so you can make striking enhancements with
a real world feel.
• Lens Correction studio (see p. 44)
A new filter that combines lens distortion, lens vignette and
chromatic aberration corrections for improved results. Also
straighten images and correct perspective in this 'studio' before
moving back to the main workspace to carry out contrast,
colour, or other fixes and creative enhancements.
• Improved Clarity adjustment now also smooths (see p. 47)
The Clarity adjustment can now also use its contrast-awareness
to smooth areas of similar colour while maintaining sharp lines
and areas of high detail.
